Also, his cosmic/psychological horror comic, Broodhollow.chainsawsuit.com. It's not updating often right now, but there's two full books' worth of material to read through.

OK but what do you suggest we do instead?

I've had more success with it than the alternative strategy of just being snarky to them. If you know of a more effective tactic for winning people over than either of those two things, I'm fully willing to give it a try.

We can correctly say the opposition was most at fault for this, but we only have ourselves at our disposal if we want to change it. That means finding ways to be better, even when we're already good.

Probably true! But we don't need to convert all of them, just find the ones with weaker convictions (AKA still maybe something resembling a conscience) and focus on them. In my (admittedly limited) experience, people can be more malleable (AKA reasonable) than we realize.

I think the argument here is more that we need to fight hateful ideas with more effective tactics than just making fun of them. It's not about "being nicer" so much as "being a manipulative bastard." Luring people into a sense of security wherein they openly put their most vulnerable thoughts and feelings forward for…

So you can connect a WiiMote to the computer that does the emulating? Actually, I guess that wouldn't be too hard since it runs on BlueTooth.

I'm playing Cave Story! It is cute and fun and also when Trump won several characters I liked died so THANKS "THE DONALD" but anyway it's very good. I think I'm close to the end now, I just completed the labyrinth and moved the boulder. I hope I can save SOMEBODY. This is very different from the last indie game I…

My birthday is in two days. My parents were asking me what I wanted, and I wasn't sure.

I don't know where you live, but you sound like you'd do well in a Unitarian Universalist church. You basically just described everything we do.

I have sometimes wondered what it would be like if our religion was more widespread. Then, of course, I wonder how popular something is allowed to get before manipulative people warp the message for their own ends. Is there just a critical mass where any belief system, no matter how well-thought-out, becomes…

But then they'd have to remove one letter from TOBLERONE!

Thanks, "THE DONALD"
There we go. Meter is restored.

He said, before his fedora finally swallowed him whole.

I have never identified with Bob Belcher more than when he said "You can't just take two words and make them into one stupider word."

We continue defending anyone being oppressed, but we do it while making every effort to better-understand both them and the horrible people causing the problems in the first place. They may not "deserve" our kindness or understanding, but at least from a tactical perspective simply trying to hate them into oblivion is…

Whoa, really? Last I checked she'd lost it.

Installing that Millenials to Snake People filter continues to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
